The Professional Executive Board of the National Society Of Black Engineers understands that having a technical career today is not easy. As technical professionals we are constantly challenged when striving to achieve our career dreams due to shifts in the economy, the fact that many companies are in a continual state if reorganizing and ever present standard practice for many companies to import talent from overseas.

Here in NSBE we are focused on helping our members fulfill their mission to "succeed professionally". We help them achieve their mission by providing multiple avenues to help them grow their career. Over the course of the year our members are provided the following opportunities:

Opportunity to receive ongoing career development training

Opportunity to make significant career moves by connecting with those in positions of influence

In this area, you will find helpful information that can aide your chapter and its members in finding a chapter and developing your chapter. You will also find more info about the chapter awards offered annually to those chapters that are going above and beyond to fulfill the NSBE mission.

We hope you find this information useful and encourage you to check back often for changes and updates.
